FIRESIDE STORIES II

May 27 – June 6

Dancing Sky Theatre – Meacham

There’s nothing like personal stories told around a campfire on a warm evening. Dancing Sky Theatre took performance back to its origins last Fall with Fireside Stories and the show quickly sold out in Meacham and Saskatoon. With COVID-19 rules still in place, the team decided it was a great time to welcome an audience back to its outdoor amphitheatre for the sequel. Fireside Stories II is a show filled with stories told in the traditional way but also through dance, clowning, poetry and music. Tickets are $10 so enjoy the drive out to the country, snuggle up with your loved ones and get your butt to Meacham.
